Thanks Carlos for the sample.

Is there any upper limit for MaximumLinkCount?

I'm using this tool to crawl site which has lot of archived content. Is it possible to configure the bot so that it can read a specific meta tag on the page and skip it? We of course we don't want the bot to report it as a 404 :)

Looking forward to hear from you :)

@Jim, In order to compile it you have to add a reference to the right DLL, the W3C validator module is not part of the core, so you need to either include the code as part of the DLL or add a reference to the Validator Module and make sure it is exposed as a public class.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I've tried adding 'WebCrawler.RegisterModule(new SEOW3ValidatorModule());' and other variations immediately prior to the crawler.Start(); in SEOrunner.cs, but when I compile it I get the error 'The type or namespace name 'SEOW3ValidatorModule' could not be found.

I then tried adding 'using SEOW3Validator;' at the top of the code, but am still getting the same error.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks again!

@Jim , the reason you dont see it run is because it is only registered with the IIS Manager client, however when you consume the APIs directly you need to use the method RegisterModule to add the instance of any custom module to the Crawler, such as the W3C validator module directly. Something like: webCrawler.RegisterModule(new W3CValidatorMOdule());

Thanks very much for this - I have been able to get it to work using your instructions.

I have also followed your instructions on implementing the W3C validator extension which is also working fine.

However, when I run the analysis from code as in this example, it is not running the W3C validator checks. Is this because the Managed code API starts the analysis in a different way to the User Interface? Is there any way to get the two to work together, so that I can get an analysis including the extended checks starting from the command line?

Any pointers would be really appreciated.

Hi!

If i use this method, what is the best way to read the content of each file? The response and responseStream properties is always null. Do I need to open and close the file each time?

Thanks for your great posts, it has helped me alot.
